Local Oddities: Ephraim McDowell & Jane Todd Crawford
Have a minisode for Christmas! Flying solo on this one, Isaac tells the story of Christmas day, 1809, in Danville, KY as frontier physician, Ephraim McDowell attempts to become the first person to successfully remove an ovarian tumor. The chances were slim to none but perhaps a Christmas miracle was in store for Jane Todd Crawford? (Spoiler alert: it was!). Happy Winter Solstice and a very Merry Christmas!
